At Horizon, we measure success by the numbers that matter the most: the number of lives we touch, the number of lives we change and the number of those who work tirelessly to help save. Our corporate social responsibility team is consistently finding ways to leverage corporate resources to enable personal giving that goes beyond traditional monetary donations.
Horizon has a longstanding partnership with Make-A-Wish foundation, supporting chapters in Ireland, Canada, the Mid-Atlantic region, Chicago and the Bay Area. While Horizon has consistently provided funding for various Make-A-Wish programs, to elevate the partnership further, Horizon’s corporate social responsibility team devised Miles+, which launched in 2021. Through the Miles+ program, employees can donate airline miles directly to the Make-A-Wish foundation, enabling those miles to be used to fulfill the wishes of seriously ill children. While airline miles can expire, donated miles never do. In 2021, Horizon employees donated 190,621 miles to help make a difference in the lives of children. For 2022, Horizon has challenged its employees to donate enough miles to complete a flight path around Horizon’s global offices: Dublin -> D.C. -> Chicago -> San Francisco -> Japan.
At Horizon, the authentic prioritization to give back is shared amongst employees across the board and around the world, from the CEO down to the interns. Our Miles+ initiative is the latest embodiment of the company’s entrepreneurial culture and commitment to giving back.
